We'll soon have the weather shut out...

All the roof sheathing is now on and we were pleasantly surprised at how neatly and painlessly the roof sections fitted together without any problem. That left corner post and beam that look redundant at this point will eventually support a pergola for grapes or kiwis.

Kents brought the roofing supplies out
on their boom truck
which allowed all those heavy bundles
of asphalt shingles
to be lifted up to be ready to work with
on the roof.

First the skylights had to go in on the porch roof. This is to allow more light into the bedroom behind the deck and will be nice for the deck also. After all the fiddley waterproofing was done, the rest of that roof section and valley were shingled pretty quickly.

On the back side of the wing bedroom Ben is figuring out the best way to seal the new and old roof together.
